Movieland Mystery Photo -- Updated

Update: This is Polly Walters! Congratulations to Mike Hawks and Mary Mallory (who not only identified Polly, but even named the photographer. Very impressive!) And thanks to Eve for suggesting her!

Here’s our mystery guest. Last week’s mystery woman was Diane Baker and the weekend mystery guest was Mary Astor, late in her career. I took a closer look at a photo from “Return to Peyton Place” and found another page of her notorious diary in The Times archives!
